Hi, I'm known as Naira (Pronounced "Ny-ra"), though my real name is Jessie Strickland. I live in Australia. I usually use Photoshop CS5 and a Wacom Intuos5.

I have been dealing with severe wrist issues since April 2013, and it has been discovered in December that I have a ganglion cyst. It will need to be surgically removed , but it will take me several months to save the money for the operation. I have become ambidextrous throughout the year though, so that's a plus :p

I have recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 from a friend and have taken a shine to Sketchbook Pro. This tablet is much easier on my wrists as I can hold them in a more comfortable position and draw gently, so my art for a while will be up and down depending on how my wrists are. Commission progress will be slow!

I post regular updates to my twitter @Naira_Updates if you're interested in a future commission or are on my commissions list and want to see how my backlog is coming along! :) and see pictures of my cat X3
